You'll notice the outside of my fridge has been beautifully decorated by two wonderful artists!

Meet the artists

Inside my refrigerator you'll find TONS of veggies and fruit. You may even find "a little spinach". Get it?

My best tip for eating well is to have healthy things on hand that are ready to grab and eat. You'll see that I have tons of cut up veggies. I also have a container of chicken meatloaf muffins. Yum!

I find myself making my favorite protein pancakes most mornings for breakfast. Therefore, I always have plenty of liquid egg whites and cottage cheese on hand. Oh, and the nasty looking thing hanging out in front of the cottage cheese is actually homemade pesto and not nasty at all.

In the picture above you'll notice half and half. Here's the deal on that one: I've tried everything else in my coffee. This is what I like. I figure a few tablespoons of half and half in the morning won't kill me.

I love almond milk in my smoothies. Without a doubt, homemade almond milk is the best. But it's summer and I feel too busy for almond milk making right now. So, store bought it is.

We are not a soda drinking family. I love to keep some mineral water (bubble water, as my kids call it) in our refrigerator. Truthfully we don't go through mineral water very quickly either. It's a rare treat.

What you can't see from the pictures...

We do have some purchased salad dressing but for the most part I like to make my own.

There's ground turkey breast hiding in the back for my favorite turkey burgers.

I keep tons of Asian and Indian spices in my refrigerator so I can easily spice up a meal.
